Lucky you (I think)!
One set of dress blues and the only mess dress ever seen was when our squadron commander showed up in a set for a squadron dinner. I guess he could be excused, he had just finished two years in the Pentagon; even more surprisingly, he was a damned fine light colonel...didn't play the usual games, which is probably why he was exilied to the border cav!
